A website urging people not to co-operate with police has been hacked to redirect users to a memorial site.

Users trying to access a site set up by Stop Snitching, stopsnitching.info, were being re-directed to gonetoosoon.org, where people can pay tributes to their loved ones who have died.

A spokeswoman for the Met Police said they had no knowledge of the redirection and no information about hacking of stopsnitching.info.

Gonetoosoon.org was contacted for a comment but did not return the Streatham Guardian’s calls.

Despite arrests, appeals and cash rewards in both cases, police have not obtained enough evidence to secure convictions.
